• Self-description in 10 words or less: "A funny, outgoing, likeable guy"
• My favorite aspect of being an athlete is: "Knowing that little kids look up to you, and some wanting to be just like you on the field."
• The part of my game I've improved the most is: "Hitting the opposite way."
• My personal athletic goal at VWC is: "To succeed on and off the field as an athlete and a student, and of course win a National Championship."
• If I could spend one day with a famous person from any time period it would be: "Ted Williams, he was the greatest hitter in my mind and I would ask him for as many tips for hitting as possible."
• If I could participate in a reality show it would be: "The Real World Challenges, beacuse I could compete and that is what I live for."
• It's the year 2025 and: "My dream job would be to be an MLB player, but if that doesn't work out I want to have a good job and a great family."
• If I could possess one superpower it would be: "Flying would make life a whole lot easier."
• People might be surprised to know: "I used to weigh 280 pounds, but I lost 80 pounds in one summer and I am in the best shape of my life."
• The most important advice I've received is: "The game of baseball teaches you many things that you will not only use on the field but in all aspects of life." --Coach Gamba
